AT TORONTO
At length the depot was reached at eX-
actlv II O'Clock. Before Mr.. O'Brien could
-3g from MS scat ar immense crowd filed
Tie platform, blocked all the passage
WAYS and overlooked into the cars. The
editor of the United Ireland was swept
from his seat and carried almost of his
feet into 9 carriage which was in waiting.
The first man TO shake him by the hand
was J. A. Mulligan, President of the
local branch Of the National League. MIR
Mulligan IS The law partner of Sir John
Mcdonald The crowd was made up of
most Of the representative Irishmen in
town, and as they passed from the car to
the carriage at the station where the train
drew up the hrst manifestation of feeling
was shown. The rOsrs swelled higher
and higher in volume as Mr.. O'Buen was
recognized, and the Iusn orator was also
greeted
WITH SOME COOS,
which, however, caused only a ripple on
The surface. 1t has been remarked on
very much, this CO0iGg. Slight Kisses
We're htSrd now and again. The COOS
didn't seem 10 trouble Mr. O'Brien bit,
however, and he passed into the carriage
with the members of the committee amid
dies Of policemen on foot aud mounted
under command OF the inspector of the |
ward. The policemen were supplied |
with several rounds of ball cartridges, |
and from under their belts polished bar /
refs were cleaning. SiX-shooters popped /
Out ID OmiLOuS readiness, but there has /
been no need for them 50 far. The ROs-

shoulders of strong men and carried TO |
me broad stair case. There amid intense |
excitement he was presented with an nd |
dress by ID. p. COhill, secretary Of the /
.ocal branch of the National League. !
During Mr.. O'Brien's reply there were |
